I am sure that all of you would have sometime or the other got this thought that “what am I doing with my life.” Actually what we want with our lives from a small child to an elderly person are happiness and satisfaction.

But the human mind is such a powerful tool that it doesn’t like the idea of stability. It has the habit of wanting a change very frequently. Even after the change has been attained it further wants more change. Giving you an example: – No matter how many clothes you have in your cupboard they always seem less for you because at the back of your “mind the heart and mind want more”. You have limited your thoughts and energy to wanting everything but satisfaction lies nowhere.

Similar is the case in your life. You are so confused regarding your decisions that they make you unstable many a times. You go to your school, office, without any enthusiasm, empowerment, and liveliness. You feel dull, don’t like the same routine and are doing things for the sake of doing them.

But friends we cannot keep this spirit and lead the rest of our lives. This article is written to move you from “darkness to light.” In life motivation and inspiration are always needed to become better day by day.

The reason behind the things you do?

First of all, you need to think about why you are doing various things in life. Your hobbies, career, family life and personality development are to be figured out by you. Why are these aspects important for you, how do they affect you? You really need to think. “For example pursuing your hobbies will give you happiness and motivate you further. Choosing a career against your wish will give you stress and frustration and block your path of success and growth.”

Where to pay attention?

You need to focus your mind. When you focus in the right direction you will feel contented, satisfied and happy. But focusing in the wrong direction will always make you unhappy and regret the decisions you make. For example:- As a student, if I get good marks in my exams but instead my focus shifts to my friend who has attained more marks than me on writing the same answers the situation changes from being happy to miserable. So a wrong focus leads to wrong thoughts. “You have the power to make your thoughts so do it in a better way.”

Recognizing the things you want

The need is to explore more and more options. Open the doors of your mind and let in the air of options so that you can know what exactly you need. You are not satisfied with the career you choose, find a better option. You want to eat ice cream at the moment, go ahead. Just take care of what keeps you at peace.

Time to take action

Once you are aware of what to do you should start taking action. The things you have to do will be in front of you, the confusions will no more be present now. You will progress further with new confidence.

Decide your priorities

You need to decide what are your priorities in life and at what is the need of the hour. You can do this by making a list of the things according to your priorities. Give time to your work, social setup, but along with it give time to your family, parents, relatives, friends and your hobbies. When you will balance your work and family your life will be well aligned and chances of confusion will be reduced.

No need to impress

Generally, most of our aspirations in mind are based on impressing others. But you don’t need to impress others in life as it will give no benefit to you. The more you will live a simple and decent life with doing self-realization. It will keep the purpose of your life very clear and you will be on the right track. Impress yourself by doing the things that are right. This world always has opinions which you should not always take too seriously.” But remember to do what is right.”

Never be afraid of failure

One thing we all face in our day to day lives is fear. Let me tell you one thing if you will be repeatedly afraid of doing any particular task it will surely not be a success. So start doing your work without judging its outcome. Whether good or bad accept it and improve yourself accordingly. Every decision in life teaches you something or the other.

Believe in yourself

No matter whatever happens in life never lose faith in yourself. Also, nurture self believe and half of your problems will vanish within no time. Whenever we are confused or not able to understand what is going on in life is mainly because we lose faith in ourselves. So always remember “you are the best the way you are and nothing is impossible for you.”

Live in the present

What has gone won’t come back and what is yet to come isn’t in your hands. So it’s better to think about the present. The time you have in your hands is totally under your control. Don’t waste it thinking too much. Make out the best of your present.

Cherish your work

When we are joyful all the things seem beautiful and we also feel really relaxed. If you do your tasks with enjoyment you will see better results, there will be fewer chances of confusion. Your purpose in life will be sorted out. No congestion of thoughts and actions.
